Bethlehem lights TSV

luvmybeetle · ‎08-10-2013

I just wanted to comment on the TSV from a week or so ago. I bought a few because they said there were more lights and lasted longer. My problem is they are so tiny that you have to use two strands to really make a good lighted area. I have one set in my smallest bathroom on a shelving on the wall. They are so dim that I would have to put another set up with them (if I had one more). I used the others elseware. For me this wasn't a good deal as I like to light up everything. If you stand still for more than a minute I will decorate you. Last year's lights were a tad bit larger. Sorry, I am talking about the battery operated string lights.

I saw those lights but bought the ones from last year so didn’t need more. Glad I didn’t now that you say they are dim. I really need to just use things I have the new ones never are as good.

Thank you for your review! I opened mine today & boy they are truly "micro mini" in size!!!

I compared them to last year model and I found the same thing. They certainly do not give off brightness with 1 strand☹️. I needed at least 2 to get the "look" I wanted.

I don't know since there are more lights/strand could be the problem. This is probably why they offered set of 4. I think these may go back -- ugh! (No way do they illuminate like they looked on tv.)

You adorably said " If you still for more than minute I will decorate you". Made me chuckle outload after a very bad day. It made me picture that. Thank you.

I have the ones from about 10 years ago. I use them year round in different areas, inside fireplace we don't use with logs piled up as an example. Anyway, they are still going strong, love them.

If I remember correctly there are 2 level brighness levels available on the bottom of the remote. If you tried that and it's still not bright enough, I guess that's as good as it gets.
